softwear

Hi,
Starting to get into this photography lark now.
At home I use fireworks. and i have access to photoshop 7 at work, the only problem been that when im at work i should be working not adjusting photos.
What softwear should i get for home?
Is photoshop elements any good?
Also heared of lightbox think i found it on google for £15 is that right.
Think its lightroom that i was after?
Or what do you recommend?

Thanks,
Im thinking Eliments at the moment then if i really need to do more stuff i can do that at work.
Is there anything really that is missing out of eliments from photoshop that i would really need though? i normally use levels, hue, saturation, contrast, colours, selective colours and either unshapen mask or highpass and vivid light.
